Hi there. Can't help with the cheap e-bike business, but as someone who is still recovering from an incident that destroyed both my hips 2.5 years ago, I can recommend ddpyoga. The app has hundreds of workouts that start from people who are confined to bed, then those that use a chair and so...

I noticed some play when lifting the rear of the bike, so decided to check the bushings. Took 20 mins going slow and steady to replace them and play is now gone. Just in case anyone is interested, this is what I did: Tools: 20Nm torque wrench with 5mm and 6mm allens (or was it 4mm?) Shock pump...

Thanks. Re removing the battery, my mates like to do long days out, as in 30/40 miles plus (check out "Kates big day out" type rides). Since my big accident where I spent 3 months in bed and the best part of 12 months in a wheel chair, I just can't stay with them without the assistance, so I'm...

To remove the battery you need a key. In the UK thats generally not a problem. But in the Alps, you need to remove the battery before you put the bike on the chairlift. I'm worried I'll lose the key in the middle of nowhere. So...anyone got any tips or done a mod to remove the need for a...

Two comments: 1)Try one, you buy one 2) I'd rather be seen coming out a brothel than a golf club :-)

This has been an interesting read, and I wish I was in a position to have your dilemma. What I am about to say may not help, so sorry if it detracts from the main topic in the thread. I have a Canyon Spectral on, an aluminium full suss and a carbon hardtail. I love them all. The e-bike is...

Quick update. Found this, which is a great resource for understanding bearing naming convention: Bearing Technical Information - Hambini Engineering

Hi. Thank you to everyone re your comments on the frame bearings. I'd like to order a complete set, so I have things to hand should it become an issue, so I have annotated the exploded diagram attached. If those in the know, or just generally curious, could take a look and let me know if I...

I'm 5'11" and have a large - it feels big to me, bigger than any other 'large' bike I've owned. Don't get me wrong, I love it and think its the 'right' size, I'm just saying they seem like big bikes to me compared to other brands I've ridden.

Finally rode my bike today. Only 2.5 miles on the road, but its a start:

I don't know any better, but I think a light blast with an air compressor and/or some WD40 would be more than enough to keep things all good?

Rob I’ve watched some of your videos, can’t say I noticed the channel name. Not sure if I subscribed, I probably did (I’ll check and do it later). But if your research says change it, go for it and I wish you all the best. Getting suppliers to lend you kit for review, and then you providing...

I met Blake when he was shooting on a fat bike at the pump track in Bristol. Came across as a really nice fella, not particularly tall, but by christ has he got powerful legs? Have you seen him on that GCN FTP fitness test video? He put out over 1400 watts. That's nuts.

I just checked the pictures - the decals on the rims are louder on the 7.0, more stealthy on the 6.0. That's swung it for me, I'd buy the 6.0 and put the savings away for repairs/upgrades and maybe a an extra battery in the future. Or XT brakes ;-)

I'm no expert, but having looked at the prices of the individual components that are different, there's not much in it. As to the fork, I don't know much about Fox stuff, but I'm sure someone said that those forks are pretty much the same apart from the material used (6000 v 7000?) and that...

Thanks. Float DPX2 2019 Uh-oh

Turns out there is the possibility of decent info on the Canyon site: Technical Support | Services | CANYON (EN) I say possibility, as the Spectral:On doesn't appear to be covered, but maybe it will be in time. Has anyone seen the rear shock sizes (length and stroke) quoted anywhere? Ta.

In the end I pulled the lid and shoved a phone in the box and took some photo's. Battery is attached and frame lights up sparkly in the flash of the camera. Amazing photo's really, it was dark in the box and I couldn't see a thing. Lids back on, box under sheets, Cath will stick a bow on it...

Ordered last Tuesday, arrived today. Now, the plan is to not open the box until Xmas Day, but: 1. Looking at pictures of others boxes, they had a box on top too - what was in that box? 2. One person said his arrived with the wrong forks. So, everything's been great so far; shall I tell my wife...

Interesting. What is the standard shock size, where's this quoted? I'm struggling to find good data for the Canyon, which is frustrating. Transition offer fantastic support, for example for the Smuggler you can go here: Transition Bikes pick a year, view the frame manual and get everything...
